typhoid bacillus

The typhoid bacillus and other bacteria can, of course, be carried into a cellar by the seeping in of drainage water.

Thus a person might become infected with the typhoid bacillus by eating raw oysters.

Oysters spread the disease when they have been "freshed" in water rich in sewage and containing the typhoid bacillus.

The disease is caused by a specific germ known as the typhoid bacillus.

Remarks: In another experiment made, chlorlyptus showed a weaker inhibitory action on the growth of typhoid bacillus.
